Positive Thoughts for the New Year
By Gerri D Smith

"When a person thinks positive thoughts he is not just thinking positive thoughts, he is changing the chemicals in his body." -Jan Tincher, http://www.tameyourbrain.com

1. Face the coming year's problems with hope, faith, and trust that God in His wisdom will guide you to a future that is right for you. Focus your thoughts on what you wish to accomplish, knowing that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life - both good and bad.

2. Make it your goal to achieve something worthwhile. Learn a new skill, or seek greater knowledge in areas you don't now have, then celebrate and share your new abilities so that you can attract more of the same. Use this power of purpose by giving whatever it is you seek the highest amount of your attention. This determines how successful you become.

3. Do whatever it takes to improve your personal and business image. Improve your financial success. Send forth good and it multiples.

4. Express compassion for those less fortunate then you are. Offer ways to help others whenever
and wherever you can. Give only good. Honor every one you come in contact with today, tomorrow, and make it an ongoing behavior. This too, is paid back to you by the Universe. The more you give of yourself, the more comes back to you. It may help make this a better world.

5. Opportunities are all around you. Learn to develop a strong passion or desire to find new opportunities. This desire comes from God. In order to find new goals and new opportunities, always move toward your
desire with a spiritual awareness.

6. Wisdom is the ability to make well thought out decisions and comes from maturity and understanding. In any given situation, make your decisions after all the facts are understood. And be open to understanding another's point of view.

7. Are you confident, persuasive and effective in the way you communicate? When speaking to others are you voicing positive thoughts? Your reputation and self-esteem is essential to your success both in your personal relationships and in your business associations.

Now that the year 2007 has just passed, you are free to live in the new year. Use each new day wisely and filled with gratitude for every hour, every minute, and every second. Set goals for each day and take specific actions that will help you accomplish them.

Here's hoping that you will reward yourself for any successful achievements. Improve your skills where and when needed. Change any negative habits, and always follow His guidance in all things you attempt to do. Remember: "You can do what you want to do; your desire to do it is PROOF that you have within you the power to do it." - Wallace Wattles
